This is my problem.....leaving the key in the pre-glow position has the relay dropping out after 3-5 seconds, not 30. The light has never worked since I got the car, and I've always ignored it and let it glow for ~10 secs for the first start of the day and never had a lick of trouble.

When I get off work I'll try the purple wire trick and see if there's any sort of change in behavior or if the relay is still dropping out ridiculously early.

Given that this is a 603, I'm not real excited to change the GP's again, it isn't as easy as the 61x since they're buried up under the intake manifold and behind the IP. Since I know the relay is timing out way too early, I'm inclined to start there.
